Link to article (in spanish): What democracy?

Translation from Spanish:

Sketchy store lady:
Buy our industrial water straight from the páramo. The water of progress.

Sketchy store lady:
Enhanced with cyanide, mercury, and sulfuric acid. Just add a little sugar and you got yourself the best rats and roaches killer for your house and farm!

Demo:
That’s useless poison you’re selling! Isn’t this supposed to be fresh mountain water? And those ingredients you mention, aren't those mining waste? That’s supposed to be banned around here. The people voted against it!

Sketchy store lady:
Well, at any rate, the economy outweighs our democracy...

Demo:
...And our common sense.
